Coated Conductive HIPS Sheet

Coated Conductive HIPS Sheet

Coated Conductive HIPS Sheet provides controlled surface conductivity while retaining the original mechanical and thermoforming properties of the base material. This solution is typically selected when surface charge dissipation is required without modifying the bulk structure of the sheet.

Surface-Conductive Solution for Thermoforming Applications

Coated Conductive HIPS Sheet Roll is designed for thermoforming applications that require controlled surface conductivity without sacrificing forming stability.

Instead of relying on bulk conductive fillers, a conductive coating is applied to the sheet surface, allowing HIPS to retain its impact resistance, stiffness, and predictable forming behavior, while meeting ESD requirements for packaging and industrial use.

From a manufacturing standpoint, this solution offers better consistency, easier processing, and lower material cost compared with bulk conductive plastics.

Advantages of Coated Conductive HIPS Sheet

Coated Conductive HIPS Sheet Roll combines a standard HIPS core with a functional conductive coating applied during controlled downstream processing. Unlike bulk conductive sheets, conductivity is achieved at the surface level, where ESD control is actually required.

  • Process Stability
    The HIPS substrate behaves predictably during heating, forming, and trimming.
  • Electrical Consistency
    Surface resistivity is less affected by sheet thickness variation.
  • Reduced Material Waste
    Easier startup, fewer rejects compared to bulk conductive formulations.
  • Supply Chain Flexibility
    Easier to customize resistivity levels without reformulating the base resin.
